Still, very little is known about the potential protective dietary factors ' 'for the prevention of infection and mortality due to COVID-19. Keeping in view the scarcity ' 'of literature/studies available, in this regards present study was undertaken to assess if ' 'there is any correlation between mean levels of Vitamin D in various Asia Pacific countries ' 'with the infection and mortality caused by COVID-19. We collected data for mean levels of ' 'Vitamin D for 37 Asia Pacific countries for which we have also got the data regarding the ' 'morbidity and mortality of COVID-19. The mean levels of Vitamin D were found to have a ' 'significant association with the number of cases/million(r\u2009=\u2009\u2009−\u20090.394, ' '<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> value\u2009=\u20090.016) and a weak association with the number ' 'of deaths/ million (r\u2009=\u2009\u2009−\u20090.280, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> value\u2009' '=\u20090.093) due to COVID-19. In conclusion, we found a significant relationship between ' 'Vitamin D levels with the number of COVID-19 cases.
